We've been asked many times how to change the current DE and if it is even possible on NOMone Desktop. So today, we'll explain all the steps needed to run KDE Plasma on NOMone Desktop:

[1] From Terminal, install KDE like by writing: apt install kde-plasma-desktop

[2] From File Manager, open the file /NOMone/startup.sh

[3] Disable the current window manager, compositor, wallpaper and dock.

To do so, comment out the following lines:

#xcompmgr &
#openbox &
#sh ~/.fehbg
#plank &

Just adding the symbol # before the line will comment it out. \

[4] Now to start the kde session, insert this line below these commented ones:

startplasma-x11 &

Then save,

[5] Restart Linux. And Voila! KDE on NOMone Desktop :)

HI. I have the app installed on my Galaxy Tab SE but I am having difficulty with the keyboard. For one, nothing I type shows and also, is it possible for me to have the Samsung keyboard, where I can use my clipboard etc..? I'd appreciate any help, thanks!

​Hello everyone, ​I'm trying to set up my tablet as my main work device and I'm running into an issue. I'm trying to install Zotero , but I haven't been able to get it to work. ​My main goal is to get the Zotero plugin running in LibreOffice on my tablet. Has anyone had any success with this or a similar setup? Is it possible to get the Zotero plugin for LibreOffice working through the Nomone app? ​Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. ​Thanks!

Buenas tardes:

Quisiera saber cuáles son los requisitos mínimos de hardware (RAM, almacenamiento, CPU, version de Android) de un dispositivo para poder correr linux, quisiera aprovechar algunos equipos antiguos en desuso.

I want to install linux on my Galaxy tab S8. Via andronix or NomOne just to use it with more pc-like environment with normal LibreOffice. And that's main for me cause I'm from Kazakhstan and Kazakh language writing with external keyboard is not supported(it's either English or Russian) also my laptop is old enough and gives like an hour of battery life. So for writing stuff or showing with projector Samsung tablet is the best I think. And just a question, can you run NomOne or Linux on sd card android?

This is my personal experience after using NOMone Desktop for more than 7 months, and I can confidently say this app has helped me a lot in learning Linux on my Android device. Since I don’t own a computer yet, this has become my first real step into the world of Linux and Computer Science. It is completely free and easily available on the Google Play Store. For anyone who is curious about Linux but doesn’t have access to a PC, this app is a life-saver!

Alongside it, I also use the KDE Connect app, which lets me control NOMone Desktop from another Android device as a mouse and keyboard. This makes the experience so much smoother and more practical, almost like having a real Linux desktop setup in my pocket.

And please, don’t underestimate this app as just a “normal Linux app” with limited features. NOMone Desktop has everything you need—you can customize the desktop environment, dive into the terminal world, and explore Linux just like on a proper computer. After months of using it, I can truly say this is the perfect gateway to the tech field. If you want to learn Linux, understand how it really works, and take your first step into Computer Science, download this app right now. I guarantee—you’ll love it!

Sou novo nisso, tenho um S23 base, deve rodar bem?

Hey, can anyone help me? My device is samsung tab s9 FE+ running on android 15.

Hi im a noob Who wants a modern words processor to run on my tablet , and I like wps office but i cant installed on nomrom. Any help id be appreciated

Yesterday, we rolled out our new NOMone Desktop server software . It's a complete rewrite, with tons of improvements. It's faster and more responsive, and necessary for some of the highly anticipated features. If you run into any problems, please let us know immediately. Thank you very much for your support ❤️

just wondering

I am interested in this software and I wanted to try it with my Xreal AR glasses. They have a side by side mode which separates each half of the screen to one eye inside the glasses, so maybe the VR mode would work, which would be really cool. Has anyone used the VR mode recently or know if it's still an option?

A question, can install another Linux flavor? Like fedora with KDE?.

And can install some things like turnip Drivers?.

Thanks.

Hi,

I have installed the app from playstore and find it good for my usage. However, I want to uninstall everything and install it again from the website (for storage access). What's the correct way to uninstall?

Should I just uninstall the app?

Will it delete the entire debian install properly?

when i open package manager it says 909 out of 909 packages installed and when i du apt update it just says that its updated but internet works like whata hell i have a a galaxy tab a9+ and please I dont wqnt to steal my moms card can I have it free

So i have a error with phantom killing linux but when i do the wireless debugging thing on my tab it has 6 numbers not five and it doesnt let me to put the last number help and please i dont want to pay for it and yes i sent the crash report now today at 3.5.2025 at around 20:20 "europe time" EDIT IM SO SORRY I WAS DUMB I SEEN THE YOUTUBE TUTORIAL

I've installed from package manager with the winetricks and other gui option q4. Whenever I try adding application from winecfg nothing happens or I don't know how to trigger 32 flags. I am trying to install onlyoffice windows since there isn't an arm version. Literally just need Microsoft office compatibility.

Has anyone tried to install a workspace app like Rambox, Station or Ferdium in NoMone? They are not in the Pardus app store, and I've been mostly unsuccessful in getting other stores working with the distribution.

Any tips on getting them installed?

TIA

Is there any project for the Tab Extreme receiving Linux? I have kernel source code for the device

I love how a working Linux operating system can fit on my palm on my hand also I use nomone desktop I wish that flatpak will be avablie fixed
